So I do think that the LateX2e "compound word mark" should map to <ZWNJ,INVISIBLE LETTER> rather than just ZWNJ...
The "(-)burg" abbreviation as "(-)bËg" (with a non-spacing but non-combining breve) should then be encoded with the invisible letter, in combination with ZWNJ to make it non-spacing.)
I hope that anyone who is reviewing the INVISIBLE LETTER proposal is aware that this kind of usage with ZWNJ (in fact I think you probably mean ZWJ) is not at all part of the proposal, but is nothing more than a speculative extenstion of it dreamed up by Philippe. And it is one which has many potential problems.
For the abbreviation of -burg, would U+035D COMBINING DOUBLE BREVE be suitable?
